My 6th month old girl is named Charlie after my WWII vet grandfather. I brought it up as a joke and my wife and other daughter just loved it. Now 9ish months after we named her Charlie is quickly becoming a top 10 name for girls, which is kind of irritating. Middle name is Eleanora. She could go by Ele or Nora later if she wants to. I call her Charlie May because she was born in May. Wife doesn't like it so I make sure I say it a lot. Other daughter is named Regan, which also became more popular after we named her

Boy names:

Kane - was something we were thinking about after my brother's middle name.President names are big with a lot of people. Have a nephew named Lincoln.Liked Logan because it would have gone well with Regan. Plus Wolverine rules....

Girl names:Have a very new niece named ParkerHave always liked Freya as a girls name, but I'm also half Norse decent. Odin can be popular for boys for that same reason. Just don't name your kid Loki, obviously. Gunner is another norse name for boys I saw once and isn't really uncommon.Back to girls....Izabella is one I like because you could call her Izzy.Abbegail is one I was thinking about because there is a Gale in my family. Abbey for short.

I'll post more as I think of them.

EDIT: Ione was my grandmother's name. Norwegian name and I really considered Iona. Wife didn't like it though.

Congrats! My advice is to never name your child after something or someone. But if you do decide to, please make sure the name of the person or thing that your are naming them after can pass the test of time. My next boy will be named Grant, if I am lucky enough. But not because of Grant Wistrom, just because I like that name. Grant Wistrom still leaves a sour taste behind in my face when I say it aloud or even think it silently to myself. My advice is to go with geezer names. No joke. My daughter's name is Eleanor and I love that name. I am 31 years old, by the way, not 150. I like the names Rose, Eloise, and Maude for girls. Earl is a badass name for a boy. It's a geezer name and it's also a Seahawk name that is sure to pass the test of time. I also like Stanley. But whatever you do don't put a damned apostrophe in a name.

If you have a boy in the bunch, another vote for the name Largent. I tried to run that one by my wife on our youngest years ago and it was duly noted but quickly dismissed. I gave it a shot. Perhaps if I would've cast a stronger vision... for example, if you have nordic/german blood, the nickname could be "Lars". "Largent" might seem overly unique at first... but, they grow up quick. You and your wife both have to like the name, I understand. That was more difficult than I imagined it would be.

I like the names of my 4 kids, but "Largent" is perhaps the name that got away. Little did I know my younger boys would take to football and are being noticed. If you're one wishing to give props to the Seahawks in the naming of your kids... how cool would it be to hear the iconic name of "Largent ________ on the tackle" announced while wearing Seahawks gear in the stands? I guess that's not happening for me... but, I still wear my gear and love watching my boys excel on the field.

Congratulations... children are a blessing! Some people say that one or two kids take all of your time. Well, if that is the case... 3 (or more) wont take any more, will they? Perhaps kids slow us down enough to enjoy life! That's a good thing!
